Danny Gray

Founder - War Paint / Jaaq

Meet Danny Gray: Founder of Warpaint For Men & CEO/Founder of JAAQ. Danny Gray's own mental health struggles started when he was bullied at the age of 12. He suffers from a condition called Body Dysmorphia Disorder. Having discovered his sister's make up helped him feel better he launched his first business Warpaint for Men, a men's make up business which is sold globally, was the first make up designed specifically for men and Danny delivered one of the most successful pitches ever on Dragons Den. As he built Warpaint for Men, Danny had more and more people reaching out asking for help with their own mental health struggles and he realised the issue with the lack of information available, huge NHS waiting lists of the dangers of googling answers and getting the wrong information. JAAQ was launched in 2022: a first of a kind mental health platform with quality information from leading clinicians & people with lived experiences, delivered in a way that has never been done before. So far, JAAQ has delivered over 1 million minutes of mental health information in over 160 countries, with a mission to positively impact the lives of one billion people, one question at a time.
